Takaaki,
I didn’t mean to mention Automator. I originally tried to write an Automator
service for this thinking that Automator would pass the referenced telephone
number to a variable but it didn’t seem to capture anything. An applet is what
I want.
What would the plist syntax look like so that it passes the details to a
variable in the applet?
Yes MXIE and ZAC are VOIP applications.
Thank you,
Bill Vlahos
